  Chapter 668 Turn against the emperor and fight for the eldest princess!

   Behind the beaded tulle.

   Wearing a red dress, looming.

  As soon as Nangong Yang finished speaking, the princess's faint voice came: "No need."

  The eyes in the hall all carefully peeked over.

Prince Gray of the Great Mongol Empire had fiery eyes, looked inside unscrupulously, and said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the eldest princess come out to see her? I heard that the eldest princess grew up on the battlefield. We men have to be brave, so why hide inside like a little woman now."

  Nan Gongyang smiled and said: "Prince Gray, please be safe and don't be impatient. When the time comes, Miss Huang will come out naturally."

   Immediately, he flashed his eyes again, and said: "In this way, in the next poetry competition, if the number one talent in your country can win three rounds in a row, I will let Huang Jie come out to meet all the distinguished guests, how about it?"

  The prince of the Great Mongolian Empire immediately raised his fist and said, "It's a deal!"

   Then he turned his head and said to the burly young man behind him, "Su Tu, it's up to you!"

  The burly young man smiled confidently, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Prince, this subordinate will definitely let you get what you want!"

  Grey burst out laughing without hesitation upon hearing this.

  The members of the Dayan royal family sitting opposite, as well as the meritorious ministers, all frowned slightly, and some people showed anger in their eyes.

  Behind the bead curtain, a cold light also flashed in the eyes of that red shadow.

  Hearing the words, the Queen Mother frowned, as if she wanted to say something to the outside, but held back.

She looked at the girl beside her, stretched out her hand to hold the cold little hand in the red sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Huoyue, born in the emperor's family, is involuntary, and the emperor can't refuse, and today they are also bringing a I came here with sincerity, don't be angry..."

  Nangong Huoyue had no waves on her face, she looked outside without speaking, and slowly clenched the other hand in the red sleeve.

  Nan Gongyang looked at the audience, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile on his face: "Then, I would like to offer you a glass first. After this glass of wine, let's start."

At this time, the third prince of Badan Kingdom, La Moer, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the competition you mentioned is the competition between the literati of our five countries? No matter which one of us wins three games in a row, we can meet with the Eldest Princess alone ,Is it right?"

  Nan Gongyang smiled and said: "Naturally, our Dayan is also included. No matter who wins three rounds in a row, even if our Dayan talent wins, he can still meet the princess alone."

  The second prince of Beicang Kingdom roared, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, is it just for one meeting? How long is this one meeting? Can the winner have a few drinks with the Eldest Princess?"

  As soon as the words came out, the queen mother immediately said: "My family, Huoyue, doesn't know how to drink."

Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I heard that all of you, men, women and children, can drink. The eldest princess fights in the battlefield all the year round, and even men are ashamed of themselves. How can she not drink? Queen Mother, don't worry, if I have won the match, the eldest princess only needs to drink three cups with the prince."

  Lang Xiao from Beicang Kingdom also laughed and said, "If I, Beicang, win, I only need the Eldest Princess to drink three cups."

  Lamore of Badan Kingdom also cupped his hands and said: "It's really inappropriate not to drink when we meet, and we won't embarrass the eldest princess. We just want to talk to the eldest princess. It is reasonable to have a few glasses of wine."

  The queen mother still wanted to speak, but the emperor Nangong Yang said with a smile on his face: "Since all the princes say so, it is not easy for me to spoil the interest of the princes, so let's make this decision."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at the members of the royal family and the ministers in the audience, and said with a smile: "My uncles, my loves, what do you think?"

  In the hall, suddenly fell into silence.

  Princess Nangong County was about to speak, when the sleeves hanging down were suddenly pulled by King Nangong County, and finally she didn't speak.

  The other princes, county kings, and ministers all lowered their heads and remained silent.

  Many people showed hesitation on their faces. This is an insult to the eldest princess, but at this moment they all understand in their hearts that this matter is not only related to diplomacy, but also to...

   Your Majesty is letting them make choices in front of so many people.

  One of the grey-haired ministers hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to get up, the red figure behind the bead curtain suddenly said, "Let's start."

   Nangong Yang turned his head, looked inside, and said with a smile, "Sister Huang, do you agree?"

  Nangong Huoyue said indifferently: "Didn't you help me make the decision?"

  Nan Gongyang smiled and said: "Sister Huang, don't say that, the princes are really too enthusiastic, and I can't refuse. But if Sister Huang is unwilling, then forget it, and I will naturally obey Sister Huang's wishes."

  The back room was quiet for a few breaths.

  Nangong Huoyue said indifferently: "Let's get started."

  Nan Gongyang smiled and said: "Okay, then listen to Huang Jie and start."

  Then he looked at the talented scholars of Great Yan in the corner, and said, "Come here a few of you and stand below me. You represent the literary talents of Great Yan, so this time, you must perform well."

   "Yes, Your Majesty!"

  The three Jiangnan talents and the two Yujing talents came out from the corner immediately, bowed their heads, and stood respectfully at the bottom of the steps.

  Nan Gongyang glanced at the five people again, then raised his wine glass, smiled at the princes: "Come on, let me offer you a toast first."

  The princes immediately raised their wine glasses and drank them down.

Nangong Yang finished drinking, pondered for a while, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and said: "I have little talent and little learning, and I can't compare with you talented people. For the first question, let's use wine as the topic. Poems, songs, and prose are all fine." .”

   "Wine as the subject?"

  When everyone heard the words, they immediately began to think.

  Prince Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire looked sharply at the burly man named Su Tu behind him, and ordered: "Think hard, and make the best song!"

  At this time, Liu Sansi, the first talented scholar in Yanjiang, seemed to have a draft.

   But at this time, the distinguished guests must be given priority.

  At this time, Su Tu, the number one talented man in the Great Mongolian Empire, immediately expressed affirmation, and said, "Yes!"

  Grey's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged: "Read! Read quickly!"

   Everyone's eyes were on him.

  Su Tu raised his head slightly, and read aloud: "One straw hat, one boat, one foot of silk and one inch hook. One song and one bottle of wine, one person fishing alone one river autumn."

   "Good poetry! Good poetry!"

   As soon as he finished reading, Gray didn't even understand the meaning, so he immediately clapped his hands in praise.

  Although he is a martial artist and doesn't know much about poetry, he is naturally extremely confident in his literary talent as the number one talented scholar.

  After listening to the others, they all nodded secretly after chewing and thinking for a while.

  Nan Gongyang looked at the chief academician of the Imperial Academy and asked, "Li Aiqing, what do you think of this poem?"

  This Academician of the Imperial Academy is named Li Zhao. He was brilliant when he was young and was famous all over the world. He was called the number one talented scholar in Yujing.

Hearing this, Li Zhao got up immediately and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this poem by Su Caizi can be called an excellent poem. The first two lines of this poem are almost plain sketches, which seem plain and plain, but when they come out in the last two days, they immediately change their meaning. Infinite, amazing. Looking at the whole poem again, nine [ones] are cleverly embedded in it, expressing the artistic conception of the poem and the picture exactly, savoring carefully, these [ones] are very appropriate and interesting. The last sentence [One person fishing alone, one river in autumn], what can be caught is not only fish, but also autumn. It is a free and unrestrained life, an unrestrained mood, and it can also contain many things. Therefore, this poem seems simple, but it is actually It's full of flavors, and the more you chew, the more surprising it becomes."

  Prince Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire immediately smiled when he heard it, and stretched out his thumb: "It's Mr. Li who has insight. With this explanation, this prince is also enlightened, hahahaha..."

  At this time, the third prince Lamor of Badan Kingdom said in a cold voice: "Prince Gray, don't be complacent, we haven't read it yet."

  Grey sneered, looked at him, cupped his hands and said, "Then please."

  Lamour looked at a blond young man behind him, and said, "Bohr, read it."

  The young man named Boer pondered for a while, and began to read with deep affection: "You don't know how strong the wine is until you're drunk, and you don't know how strong it is until you're in love. You can't drink my wine, just as I can't dream your dreams..."

  After reading this poem, Gray sneered again, and said sarcastically, "Your Padan Kingdom's poetry style is quite unique."

  Lamore's expression sank, and he said, "Why, Gray, do you want to try my Padan's fist?"

  Grey immediately clenched his fists, and said arrogantly: "Is this prince afraid of you?"

   Seeing that the two sides were at war, Nangong Yang immediately smiled and said: "Okay, everyone is my distinguished guest of Dayan, so why be so angry. If you two want to compete in martial arts, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

   After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhao again, and asked, "Li Aiqing, what do you think of this poem by Bohr wit?"

Li Zhao cupped his hands and said, "This poem by the talented Boer is naturally excellent. It fits the characteristics of Badan's folk songs. In just a few sentences, he expresses his love feelings vividly. However, compared to the poem by the talented Su Poetry, the artistic conception is still a bit worse."

  Lamore was a little unconvinced for a while, and when he wanted to speak again, the talented man from Beicang also said: "It is indeed Mr. Su's poem, which is even better."

  The prince of Gaoqi and the prince of Loulan both nodded.

   Lamor snorted coldly this time and stepped back.

  Seeing this, Gray was full of complacency, thinking that he was sure of winning, and squinting at the other princes, he said, "It's your turn!"

  Prince Lang Xiao of Beicang Kingdom, turned his head and whispered a few words to a literati behind him, then said with a cold face, "We give up this round."

  The princes of Gaoqi Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom had no extravagant hope of marrying the eldest princess, so naturally they gave up directly.

  Grey felt even more proud when he saw this, and asked the five great Yan talents who were standing under the steps, "What about you? Are you also directly admitting defeat?"

As the first talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Sansi had already written many poems with the theme of "wine", so when the emperor mentioned the topic, he immediately thought of it, and it was only because of the host that he let the other party do first.

When the prince of the Great Mongolian Empire disrespected the eldest princess at the beginning, he was furious. Seeing that the other party was triumphant and looked like the world's most respected princess, he was even more angry, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will show my ugliness first."

Nangong Yang smiled, looked at him and said, "I think Su Caizi's poem is indeed very artistic, just like Li Aiqing said, it is a very good poem with profound artistic conception. Mr. Liu, what do you think of your poem? Poetry, can you beat him? I think it should be impossible. If you are not sure, just do it in the second round."

  As soon as these words came out, the other talented scholars immediately looked at each other, and the emotions that were eager to try just now were suppressed immediately.

  Eldest Sun Wan'er also lowered her head.

   In the first game, His Majesty wants this talented man from the Great Mongolian Empire to win.

But Liu Sansi has always been hailed as a madman, how could he bear this kind of anger, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not say that I have won this poem, but at least I will not be inferior to him. As for who wins and who loses, I will I believe Master Li and others will judge."

  As soon as these words came out, Nangong Yang still kept a smile on his face, paused, and said: "Okay, since you have this confidence, then you can read it."

Liu Sansi arched his hands, straightened up, and looked at the prince of the Great Mongolian Empire with an unruly look, and read aloud: "The waves mean thousands of miles of snow, and the peach blossoms are silent for a team of spring. A pot of wine, a pole of body , How many people are happy like Lennon?"

   There was a moment of silence in the hall.

  The literati behind the other princes all nodded secretly.

  Prince Gray of the Great Mongolian Empire sneered: "This is plagiarism! Your poem also has three ones, and it is far worse than our poem."

  Liu Sansi did not refute.

   Nangong Yang smiled, looked at Li Zhao, and said, "Li Aiqing, you come to judge."

  Li Zhao cupped his hands and said: "This poem is inscribed on a painting to express feelings, borrowing the meaning of the scenery. Although the taste is not high, the leisurely and light artistic conception is beautiful and beautiful. It can also be regarded as a masterpiece of poems on paintings."

  Nan Gongyang narrowed his eyes and said: "Then Li Aiqing said, this poem or Su Caizi's poem, who is better?"

  Li Zhao knew his intentions, and knew that he should give the Great Mongolian Empire a face. He bowed his head and said, "Taste carefully, and the poems of Su Caizi are even better."

As soon as this remark came out, Gray burst out laughing, and then looked at the red shadow behind the bead curtain unscrupulously, and said with fiery eyes: "Princess, this first round was won by this prince. This prince won two more rounds." After this game, you can have a good time with the eldest princess, hahahaha..."

  Nan Gongyang also had a smile on his face, and when he was about to announce that the Mongolian Empire had won the first round, a voice suddenly came from below: "Your Majesty, can I have a try?"

  The smile on Nangong Yang's face froze for a moment, and then he looked at him.

  In the main hall, everyone looked over.

  A sharp light flashed in Gray's eyes.

  Behind the bead curtain, that red shadow also looked at him.

  Luo Qingzhou wore a Confucian robe and stood alone in the corner, keeping some distance from the people in the Nangong County Palace. At this time, he bowed his head and asked for a fight.

  In the hall, there was a brief silence.

   Nangong Yang suddenly smiled and said, "Who let you in? I don't seem to have invited you in, right?"

At this time, the queen mother's voice suddenly came from the back room: "Your Majesty, I let Luo Qing in. Luo Qing is good at poetry, and this time I will be discussing with the distinguished guests. He is naturally indispensable. Didn't your Majesty agree to let him go to the hall?" come?"

Nangong Yang paused for a moment, turned his head and said with a smile: "It turned out that the queen mother let him in, so forget it. The boy just thinks that he is too young, and it is enough to have the top few talents in Jiangnan and the first or second in Yujing." .”

  The queen mother said: "Luo Qing's talent, they may not be comparable."

  Nan Gongyang smiled, looked at the young man in the corner of the audience, and said: "Luo Qing, I have just told all distinguished guests in advance that I only selected these five people to compete with them, so naturally I can't go back on my word."

  Luo Qingzhou raised his head, looked at him and said, "Didn't your majesty just say that your majesty must follow the wishes of the eldest princess and listen to the eldest princess, right?"

  As soon as these words came out, the faces of the royal family members and ministers, even the queen mother behind the bead curtain, all changed.

   Nangong Meijiao's face turned pale immediately.

  Nangong Xueyi on the side turned his head and looked at him with shining eyes.

  People from the five sects also looked at him with different expressions.

   Nangong Yang on the dragon chair, after a short silence, still kept a smile on his face, and said: "Yes, I did say that."

  Luo Qingzhou looked into his eyes, cupped his hands and said: "In that case, the minister Luo Qingzhou will fight on behalf of the eldest princess!"

   Then he turned his head to look behind the bead curtain, and said, "Your Highness, can you?"

  Behind the bead curtain, a figure in a red dress looked at him quietly for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

   The high fever has subsided, but there is still a low-grade fever, dizziness, headache, and throat discomfort. There are no other problems. I guess it will be almost fine tomorrow.

   Thank you for your continued support.

   Thanks to the leader of "Pan Shao 520" for giving rewards every day. If you recover from illness, don’t give rewards.
